Widor's Toccata Editions

[Guest]

Hey there,</P>

 </P>

I was wondering, I current have the 1887 edition of Widor's Toccata, but I am very keen to get my hands on the 1887 (Original) edition that Widor first published, and the last edition he published which was in 1920, does anyone have a copy of these?</P>

 </P>

I think the publisher is J. Hamelle.</P>

 </P>

Can anyone help me out here?</P>

 </P>

All the best,</P>

 </P>

Welcome to the Forum. [:)]</P>


I'mcurious why you are looking for this edition? The later editions are the ones to be preferred; for example, the earlier edition does not contain the held high "F" in the final chords.</P>


Dover reprinted all ofWidor's organ symphonies in two volumes. Dover used the original Hamelle edition for almost all of the symphonies, including Symphonie V. IMSLP.org has a copy available for download - it looks as if it was taken from the original Hamelle edition.</P>

Oops, I meant to say I have the 1901 edition, which is the one from IMSLP.</P>

 </P>

The one I would like to get is the 1920 version, not arranged by anyone, do you know where I can get this edition?</P>

All the best,</P>

Re: Widor's Toccata Editions

You might find the A-R edition useful. It is based primarily on the last printed edition issued (I believe) in the late 1920s.
